Insignia Library system

Backup

Backup can be done manually or it can be scheduled. By default backup is done every night at 12:00 AM. The backup file is saved in the default backup directory of the SQL Server. This directory should be backed up every night by tape or suitable substitute.

To manually backup or create a schedule for the library system:

1. 
   Click on “Administration” in the Navigator Toolbar.
   
2. 
   Select “Backup”.
   
3. 
   Click on “Backup” to start the backup.
   
4. 
   To create a new backup schedule, you must make the first backup (by clicking on “Backup”).
   
5. 
   check that the Insignialibrarybackup.bak file is being backed up on another computer or to tape drive and that the date is current. This will allow you to restore the system (in the event of a problem) with current data; thus backing up the Insignialibrarybackup.bak file is critical.
